RANKIN COUNTY, Miss. —

A man wanted in connection with a Rankin County shooting has been captured in Jackson, authorities said.

Rankin County sheriff’s deputies and U.S. marshals used K-9s Friday in the search for the man authorities said was armed and dangerous. The man, who was identified as Michael Blockmon, 24, of Jackson, was arrested about 3:30 p.m. at Wiggins Road and Highway 80, authorities said.

The search began about 10:30 a.m. after a man was shot on Ed Spann Road, authorities said. The man was walking down the street when a car pulled up and a passenger inside fired a shot, hitting the man in the leg, Rankin County investigators said.

Investigators said Blockmon ran into the woods near the Trickam Bridge area, where deputies began the search.
